- I live on the Isle of Wight,
which is known as Dino Island,
so what better place, than to think about creating
some really creative sounds from Jurassic Park?
(upbeat music)
In this world, I recreate the epic Jurassic World
style T-Rex sounds,
and using a video from Gary Ridestorm,
which I'll link in the description, by the way.
I need to gather together a bunch of sound effects
like whales, (whale calls)
elephants, alligators, (animals roar)
lions, trees falling, (lion roars and tree rustles)
and so on to really recreate this epic
kinda T-Rex, or whatever dinosaur
I could lay my hands on in the garden anyway,
stomping around.
So that's coming up,
make sure you watch the end of the video
to find out what happened
and also to get the link to download
the effects I create in today's video.
Okay, here we are in Premier Pro.
This is something I recorded just outside in the garden.
♪ La la la la la ♪
Wandering around and suddenly, oh, there we go.
We're gonna need some footsteps.
- [Recording] Rawr!
- There's the dinosaur.
- [Recording] Rawr!
- Pretty terrible roaring at the moment.
♪ Dun dun dun-dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun ♪
And then our dead character.
- [Recording] Rawr!
- And a final, big roar.
Now, obviously my roar is not gonna cut it.
So how can I really make this sound epic?
Well, first of all, I'm actually gonna go to "edit" here
and I'm actually going to look for "edit" in Adobe Audition.
That's where I can really have some fun
with the sound design.
Otherwise it's not impossible,
but it's harder to do in Premier Pro.
And we'll edit the whole sequence,
which means it's gonna render
out this Jurassic World sequence
that I'm working on in my garden.
And it's gonna bring it straight
into Audition as a multi-track.
There we go.
Now I can work with it.
I can, even if I want bring in the video reference here
and put it there
so I can really watch what's going on again.
(distorted dinosaur sounds)
So there's our character,
and here is the stomping dinosaur.
So I've got a few little sound effects
that I pulled in earlier,
like the tree falling.
Let's bring this onto the multi track here.
Let's get a few different timber sounds.
That's one of them.
Let's get this tree fall as well.
And let's see what we can do
to sync this up. (distorted electronic noise)
So there is the first footstep about,
it puts its foot down there, doesn't it?
So we really need to make that area epic.
So let's do that.
Let's pull that together.
Let's see what we got.
(birds chirp)
Okay, that's interesting.
(birds chirp)
So we got...
- [Recording] Rawr!
- Okay, so he does a couple of steps there, one...
- [Recording] (distorted) Rawr!
And again there, so let's cut this here,
and take this,
'cause this is actually gonna be great
so far for what I've got.
And I'm gonna duplicate that.
And then I'm gonna put a few effects
on both of these tracks,
so we can really get going with that.
So again, I can see where in time this is going down.
So again, he stomps here, and let's play that again.
- [Recording] Rawr! (birds chirp)
- Okay, so I might need to pull that in earlier actually,
(static crackles)
because the footstep actually occurs right about there,
doesn't it?
So, (distorted electronic noise)
so that's perfect.
(birds chirp)
And then let's make sure that's occurring in sync.
So again, the foot goes down there.
So just to synchronize that perfectly,
(distorted electronic noise)
we need to grab both sounds,
and just move that along a little bit.
There we go, let's play.
(birds chirp)
(gravel crunches) - [Recording] Rawr!
- Oh and another footstep.
So let's find out where that goes.
(distorted electronic noise) (mouse clicks)
Okay, perfect.
So those trees falling sound really good,
because essentially, it gives the sound
to something with real impact
landing on the ground.
So now we've got...
(birds chirp) (gravel crunches)
- [Recording] Rawr!
Rawr!
♪ Dun dun dun-dun dun dun-dun dun-dun dun-dun ♪
- So we got this.
(birds chirp) (gravel crunches)
- [Recording] Rawr!
Rawr!
♪ Dun dun ♪
- Okay, what I'm gonna actually do
is I'm going to go ahead and grab
both, all of those at the top,
and I'm actually gonna drag them
onto their own new track here.
And what I'll do here is I might add a little bit
of a pitch shifter to really add some effect here.
So we'll go for "pitch shifter,"
and we'll pitch it down a little bit,
and maybe even pan this over to the left
a little bit, tiny bit.
(mouse clicks)
(birds chirp) (footstep thuds)
- [Recording] Rawr! - That's good.
- [Recording] Rawr!
- Okay, now, if I were to mute out my original audio,
we've got...
(footsteps thud)
Okay, maybe I'm gonna move this back in time,
tiny bit just to make it sync up.
Perfect.
(footsteps thud)
(hisses) He actually does a couple of footsteps there.
So I wonder if I can actually duplicate
just a tiny bit of that to...
Let's get that in where he does the second,
so he does first footstep,
and then a kind of second little jumpy footstep there.
See, so I wanna actually play something
in there and also there. (mouse clicks)
So we've got, now... (mouse clicks)
Let's play that back from the start.
(static hisses) (footsteps thud)
There we go, oh yes.
And we'll let the decay on that
go on a bit longer, cause that's gonna help.
(footsteps thud)
And then he's roaring as well.
So let's bring in some roars.
Oh, we've got a sonic boom as well.
Let's see how that's gonna work.
Maybe we can mix this in somewhere.
Let's just see if that sounds good.
(footsteps thud)
Oh, that's interesting.
I wonder if we can use that maybe,
in a lighter form with a bit of reverb,
and quieter as well.
Let's turn this track down a bit.
(footstep thuds)
That's interesting.
Let's put a bit of reverb on that track.
So we'll go to "reverb" here,
and we'll go to "studio reverb."
I'm gonna go for a large vocal reverb on that.
Let's solo it.
(footsteps echo)
Maybe a little bit more of the track is needed.
(footsteps echo)
Okay, that's cool.
And then again, we'll sync this with all of the footsteps.
So we've got like a nice synchronization there.
Let's try this.
(footsteps echo)
Okay, and then we need to get the roars.
So let's bring in some roars.
Okay, We got a roar here.
Let's see how this works.
Let's try and sync it up with my roar there.
My not very good roar.
(dinosaur roars)
So you can probably hear that.
So make it a bit louder.
(dinosaur roars)
That's cool.
(dinosaur roars)
And again, we'll put this here.
A big roar there, 'cause he is definitely roaring.
(dinosaur roars)
And he's he's shaking around there.
So we need to,
(dinosaur roars)
There we go, so now we've got this.
(mouse clicks) (dinosaur stomps and roars)
Okay, and let's bring in maybe an angry elephant as well.
'Cause that could add to the mix.
Could add, let's try it.
(elephant trumpets) (mouse clicks)
That's interesting.
Let's try and shorten that a bit.
I'm just gonna move this little bit
out the way and see if we can make that roar shorter.
So it's short and angry.
(dinosaur roars)
Hm.
(dinosaur roars)
That's probably in need of a little...
(dinosaur roars)
Let's make the,
(dinosaur roars)
let's make, (dinosaur roars)
let's actually put a bit of reverb on that track as well.
Maybe a bit of smaller reverb.
So we'll go for "studio reverb" this time.
We'll go for "vocal medium" here.
(dinosaur roars)
And yeah that's actually sounding pretty good.
So now we are going from this,
where we'll probably keep this original bit.
♪ La la la la ♪
Let's fade it in at the start.
So we got this.
♪ La la-la la la-la la-la la la ♪
(footsteps thud) - [Recording] Rawr!
And actually I might actually cut my roar,
and bring it down and pitch shift it a bit
so we can actually see
whether a human roar is gonna work if it's pitched down.
So pitch shifter, fade it right down.
(dinosaur roars)
Let's go to solo there.
(dinosaur roars)
That could work, couldn't it?
So we'll make sure to cut out the roar here,
and the roar here,
'cause that's a human roar that we don't need.
(footsteps echo) (dinosaur roars)
And without that roar, it's just..
(footsteps echo)
but with my human roar pitch,
(dinosaur roars)
it really adds to it, doesn't it?
And actually what we can do
is we can space this out a little bit.
So we're to go ahead and double that track up.
Maybe send it off a little bit and pan it left and right.
We can get that stereo effect.
(dinosaur roars)
And actually I might do that just with this.
So let's try this.
(dinosaur roars)
I wonder whether that actually needs
to go on a little bit longer,
that sort of elephant, angry elephant sound there.
So we've got...
(dinosaur roars)
♪ Dun dun dun-dun ♪
Maybe not as long as that.
(dinosaur roars)
♪ Dun dun dun ♪
(mouse clicks)
(dinosaur roars)
♪ Dun dun dun-dun dun dun-dun dun-dun dun-dun ♪
There we go.
And let's take my, my little singing thing there.
♪ Dun dun dun-dun dun ♪
♪ Dun dun dun-dun dun dun-dun dun-dun dun-dun ♪
I wonder if I can maybe add
some kind of modulation to it, maybe a phaser.
Let's try some...
♪ Dun dun dun-dun dun dun-dun dun-dun dun-dun ♪
Actually it's a bit loud.
I can see that's distorting.
So let's fade that down.
♪ Dun dun dun-dun dun dun-dun dun-dun ♪
Let's fade down the original and keep the phased up there.
♪ Dun dun dun-dun dun dun-dun dun-dun dun-dun ♪
There we are, that's nice.
- [Recording] Rawr!
And then for a final roar to the camera,
I think again we're gonna go for,
let's see if I've got anything else
in my goody bag of sound effects,
'cause I actually managed to get quite a few
from Free Sound that would be quite good.
So let's see if I've got anything.
What about big lion roar?
That could be interesting.
Let's drag that in for the final roar here at the end.
See how...
- [Recording] Rawr!
Yeah, let's let's definitely mute my,
mute my attempt at roaring out.
Let's mute that clip,
and let's fade that at the end there and there.
And then we'll..
(dinosaur roars)
It sounds like a big pussycat, doesn't it?
It's probably not the sound I'm looking for.
So let's go again for this, this, and this.
And we'll drag that in.
Trying to grab all of them if I can.
So let's grab all three of them.
Bring it over.
And then we've got...
(distorted roar)
Right there.
That's where the big, final roar is coming in.
(dinosaur roars)
Well that's a long roar, isn't it?
So I wonder if I can make that extend.
I'm going to try time stretching.
So that's...
- [Recording] Rawr.
- To about there isn't it?
Let's see what happens if I time stretch these out.
So let's time stretch that, time stretch that,
and time stretch that.
All time stretching them differently
to see what we end up with.
(dinosaur roars)
Now there's a slight outta sync issue there.
So I'm just gonna bring that into sync.
Playing it.
(distorted dinosaur roar)
Make it happen a little earlier.
Seems like it needs to come in earlier.
(dinosaur roar)
Nice, and I feel that's good.
It needs a little fade out there.
So I don't hear the artifacts of the time stretching.
And now you've watched all the way this far in the video
you must be interested to see the final multi track
and how everything turns out.
So let's go for a bird's eye view control,
command, back slash to get the full multi track.
Let's just make this video a little bit smaller
so you can see it in context
with everything that's going on.
There will be a download link by the way,
mrc.fm/trex,
if you're interested
in getting these sound effects on their own.
So we've got this lovely scene that plays out.
